Evening of Fine Food

Queens still proudly wears its tag of "The World's Borough," serving as one of the world's most diverse areas. This month, some of the borough's finest are coming together to celebrate the area's cuisine. And it is all for a good cause. 

Tuesday, February 24, marks the return of the Queens Centers for Progress' annual Evening of Fine Food. For its 30th year, the event will feature dishes from over a dozen countries, all celebrating community through cuisine and camaraderie. More than 23 eateries will be in attendance, including Astoria's masa-centric restaurant, Mayahuel Restaurant & Bar, plant-based Caribbean Bevo's Kitchen, and Aigner Chocolates—a chocolate shop that's been serving sweets for over 90 years. This is a benefit that gives back: proceeds from the evening will raise funds for QCP’s programs and services, including support for more than 1,200 individuals with developmental disabilities to lead more independent lives.

The event will be held at Terrace on the Park. Tickets are priced at $150 per person. The event begins with a sponsor VIP reception at 5:30pm, followed by general admission from 6:30 to 9:00pm. Reserve your ticket here.
